Two more signings were announced for the roster. <a href=\"https:\/\/tnawrestling.com\/news\/tna-wrestling-signs-elayna-black\">Elayna Black<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/tnawrestling.com\/news\/tna-wrestling-signs-mr-elegance\">Mr. Elegance<\/a> have crossed the line to sign contracts. This news comes as no surprise considering both wrestlers have been featured on Impact in recent weeks.

She told TNA president Carlos Silva that her first show as a fan was TNA in 2010. Tommy Dreamer gave her a pep talk that she will be a star.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Black plied her craft in NXT as Cora Jade and won the NXT women\u2019s tag titles with Roxanne Perez. Last year, Black was part of the talent crossover in the relationship between TNA and NXT. She challenged Masha Slamovich for the Knockouts Championship at Sacrifice, but she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cagesideseats.com\/2025\/3\/14\/24386238\/tna-sacrifice-2025-results-nxt-cora-jade-fails-make-history-masha-slamovich-knockouts-championship\">didn\u2019t win gold<\/a> on that evening.

Mr. Elegance didn\u2019t quit sign on the dotted line, but the contract is official nonetheless. He popped his pecs at Dreamer, who quipped, \u201cI used to have a body like that myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Mr. Elegance wrestled on the indies as AJZ.
